WEBINAR
Using AI and Social Media to Evaluate and Advance ESG
Sponsored by Foley Hoag
|
|
How do investors evaluate the Environmental, Social and Governance practices of companies in their portfolios? Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media are effective tools to identify those businesses that observe best practices.
Increasingly, investors are taking up the flag to promote ESG values and advocate for users and customers to join them. On the other hand, investors and companies may seek to avoid businesses that might pose a greater financial risk for non-adherence to ESG values.
Consider how you might leverage your practice in finance to advocate for social change and ESG, with insights from Brittan Heller, Counsel in Foley Hoag's Global Business and Human Rights practice. Veronica Jennings, Foley Hoag Partner, will moderate the discussion.
Please email your questions to boston@100women.org by Thursday, February 4, 2021, or you may email them during the webinar.
Produced by the 100WF Boston Committee.
